- tambeb 6y agoNot at all. At home I have a cheapo Adafruit RTL-SDR ($22 at Microcenter https://www.microcenter.com/product/463176/adafruit-industries-software-defined-radio-receiver-usb-stick---rtl2832-w-r820t https://www.microcenter.com/product/463176/adafruit-industri...) running on an unused Gigabyte Brix. At my parents' I have a similar SDR on a Raspberry Pi. They're both indoors on the highest floor. I have a LimeSDR as well that I screw around with sometimes, but really any basic receiver will get the job done. I'm planning on checking out adsbexchange and FlightAware based on the comments. The setup on the Brix: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dJmvM3R9u3eGpggP8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/dJmvM3R9u3eGpggP8 Project Loon balloons on Flightradar24: https://photos.app.goo.gl/b8wDkTn6XaRmUWGw6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/b8wDkTn6XaRmUWGw6
- isomorphic 6y agoThank you so much! I see on the Brix you're just using the stock antenna, which is encouraging given I have perennial issues with reception on other devices. Now to buy some gear...
